If nothing tastes better in a steaming cup of tea or on top of a slice of toast than a dollop of honey, a special honey dipper like this could sweeten how you dispense that drizzle. Rockler offers a stainless-steel honey dipper (item 65970) with an end that’s threaded to accept any knob or handle you can dream up. I turned mine from a block of swirly colored resin using micro tools with negative-rake carbide cutters from Easy Wood Tools. Rocker carries these tools and 1 ½" x 1 ½" x 6"-long turning blanks in a variety of fun colors and patterns.
To add some whimsy, I shaped the knob for my honey dipper to resemble a beehive. I turned a little “beehive” bowl from scrap cherry to go with it, page 60.) And if perhaps you need a fresh gift idea, a little “Santa’s elf” creativity at the lathe could deliver a production run of these honey dippers in plenty of time for the holidays.
